Wayo, my previous bird passed away. It took months to get over my little sweet heart and we had another bird named sky who had quit the little tude. so we gave her up and got Zorro from a local girl with a strange genetic disease and could not go outside in the sun and so she breed budgies. Zorro was the only bird for sale but it turned out to be one of the best decisions our family has ever made.

hopps like a rabbit pecks your finger and says BEEP asks "what are you doing?" Talks to the wall.

A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.

Zorro, the fox so cunning and free. Zorro, who makes the sign of the 'Z'..." (from the zorro series and edited by zippy and polly) -thanks guys haha.

The Three Eyed-Scary Monster AdventureJuly 11th Hello to all my friends on Bird Channel. It is yet another sad day as we say "see you later my friends" to Chi Chi(27169) and to Bob White (249789). Both birdies left us for the beautiful Rainbow Bridge leaving both family and friends saddened and missing them. Little Angel here with "The REST OF THE STORY". " Finding myself safely on the ground Dixie wraps his wings around his Little Angel and holds me tightly! Kissing me ever so softly on my beakie he looks into my sweet, but mischievous eyes and tells me just how much he loves me, and that he can't rest for a minute because even the most innocent things I do always turn into something of an adventure! As we Walked down the BC Hill wing in wing Dixie asked me to try to not get into any trouble today. When all the BC birdies reached Dixie's house he took me to where his Mom keeps the baking utensils. "We'll need some very large pie plates," he tells me,"lets look in here. Dixie opens the hutch door and we both peer inside."AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Dixie and Little Angel scream as a big three eyed monster glares out of the darkness at them. "Oh Little Angel Dixie pants, what is that monster doing in my Mom's cupboard?" Dixie peers carefully into the blackness then quickly retreats. " I doooonnnooot know Dixie, but we have to trap it so we can get the pie plates." Little Angel looks carefully into the cupboard as the three eyed monster sits in the darkness watching her. " Ok, let's make a plan. We have to make it come out so we can trap it some how. I wonder what we can use to lure it out?" Little Angel sits down on the floor a safe distance from the open cupboard door with her wing tip on her chin. A serious look crosses her face as she thinks through this problem. "I've got it Dixie. We can use an apple to draw the monster out, then we can jump on it and hold it still until we can tie it up with this piece of string. ( Little Angel holds up a length of red and white string she found in her back pack)." "It looks pretty big Little Angel. Maybe we should use a net to trap it? We can take one of my Mom's tea towels and when it sticks it's head out we can drop the towel on it and wrestle it to the floor. Together, we can carry the three- eyed monster outdoors and let it go in the wild.."Dixie and Little Angel stare into the scary, black cupboard.. See you all tomorrow with the REST OF THE STORY with love and a vote Little Angel 224909

Little Angel running for Bird of the MonthJuly 7th Hi everyone, Little Angel here to tell you the "REST OF THE STORY." Some birdies have asked if I am indeed so mischievous? The a newer is YES. Momma Deb has created our BC personalities based on our true personalities here at home. "AH, now I remember where I was, "CALICO HELPPPP!!!!!" "I was stuck up in the upper most branches of that big old Apple Tree on the top of BC Hill. I pulled and tugged, I yanked, and wriggled, but the branch had snagged my new pink hoodie, and it wasn't going to let me go" "Calico, we need help. We have to find someone to help me get down." Calico thought for a moment before replying. "I can call Popeye and the Homeland Security and have them bring the Fire truck" Calico looked in her backpack for her cell phone and frantically told the birdie on the other end what the emergency was..."and Little Angle is stuck up in the apple tree again..." Calico hung up and yelled up into the dense foliage, " Popeye and Jenny-Lynn are on their way, don't worry we'll get you down" Little Angel answered nervously, " Thank you, I'm getting pretty scared up here" "As Calico waited for the Fire truck ,along came Kaji, and Lizzie the Dragon out for an afternoon walk in the cool fall sun. " What's ya doin' Calico?" asked Lizzie curious of what Calico was looking at up in the tree. "Little Angel was picking apples for us, when her hoodie sweater got caught on a branch, and she can't get down" Lizzie the Dragon thought for a minute and whispered to Kaji," I could burn down the tree and rescue Little Angel' Kaji shook his head,and said, " but if wee burn down the tree, Little angel might get hurt, we have to think of something else." the three birdies stood looking up into the tree as Little Angel began to cry, " OH I might never get down, I might be here forever..." As Kaji, Lizzie and Calico try to console Little Angel, Raffikki, Polly, Zippy and Cookie Stark came over the top of the hill. Seeing the three birdies looking intently up into the old apple tree, they paused on their walk to investigate... See you all tomorrow with THE REST OF THE STORY, with hugs and love Little Angel 224909 sure can use your daily votes to get tot he castle

Hi Zorro!He's cute (and looks like Sky my brother's budgie who past away few months ago from a disease we never knew he was sick before we got him but I didn't realized till he died ) Anyway, here's your 128th vote! You're soo lucky you got Zorro tamed because Sunshine still isn't tamed and I had him about 3 months now but he made some progress: finger-feeding.

Hi ZorroHow are u sweetie? It's a pleasure to meet u! We share many of the same friends so I wanted to stop by! I'm TiaMaria, my friends call me Tia. I'm a 17 yr old Military Macaw from Greensburg PA. I'm a second home bird & I've been with my mom for a little over 16 happy, wonderful years now! I'm an only birdie, but we also have 2 dogs & 3 cats...but I'm the boss! Mom says that I'm a very sweet, lovable & silly girl (except for some hormonal biting issues this year), & I LOVE giving kisses to everyone brave enough to bring their faces near! I've NEVER bit a face, or never bit anyone other than my mom! U know how it is...we occasionally have to keep our moms in line & have to sometimes remind them who the boss is, hehehe! Well, have a wonderful day sweetie, & I look forward to being friends & hearing all about u! Hugs & a vote Tia

Hi Zorro--January 30th SPOTLIGHT on CARING-Cappy part 2 Hi every bird, SKY here with this weeks SPOTLIGHT on CARING Part 2 as we continue our interview with Cappy and his Mom Terri. I'd like to take a moment to ask for continued prayer for Ms Chirps -228922 Momma Rea who was taken to Hospital in Rochester, NY this afternoon. We hope to be able to update you asap. SKY; Please tell us the history of Cappy, and how & when he joined your flock:

Terry; We found Cappy at a bird mart in Oklahoma city while we were hunting for bird toys. A kid of about 8 was walking around with him and he was a snuggle bunny and just wanted to be held and to cuddle. My husband and I handled him and he was so lovable and kept telling us he was a good boy and a good bird. We handled him for about 2-3 hours, then we went to talk to the owner. This guy also had a poor Ekkie who looked horrible and you couldn’t even approach it … probably should have set alarm bells off in my head but I was more attuned to Captain who seemed healthy and happy. Cappy was being sold because he had a history of attacking women… from what we could understand Cappy went from original home, because of bad behavior/biting, and into a exotic sale in Tennessee where the dealer in Oklahoma picked him up for a quick resale. Our vet Tech was also at this particular bird mart and we showed her Cappy. We all felt he was in good health and his feathers looked pretty good other than an awful butcher job for a wing trim.

SKY: I understand that there were a number of very serious issues that came up once Cappy joined your flock. Can you elaborate?

TERRY; The first problem we noticed was within a day of purchase. Cappy was sitting at the bottom of cage and appeared ill so we got him to the vet ASAP. He tested positive for Chlamydia and PBFD. Immediately we removed Dory and Rudy from the home and sent them to a friend until we could figure things out with Cappy. Cappy underwent 10-11 weeks of antibiotic shots in his chest before he was cleared of the Chlamydia. After he was cleared of the Chlamydia we re-tested for PBFD and came back negative so finally after about 12 weeks he was pronounced healthy. Sky; due to space limits by BC we shall conclude this interview next Wednesday. Thank you Cappy & Mom Terry for sharing your experiences with bringing a new bird into your flock! with my heart filled with love. SKY 224183

Hi ZorroJanuary 23 Spotlight on Caring; Cappy & Mom Terry Hi Every birdie, SKY here with a 2 part "SPOTLIGHT on CARING", with our good friend Cappy, & his Mom Terry. Just a quick reminder of the Ice Fishing Trip Thursday evening at 7:30 PM EST on page 225323, hosted by my frother Casey. SKY; Terry when did you first become interested in birds? How did you become a bird owner? Terry: I became interested in parrots as a teenager. I had a Budgie when I was a teenager and a Cockatiel in my late teens. Most recently in 2009 I had a co-worker get me interested again, as she has a Green Wing Macaw that she talks about every day. After talking with the Co-Worker I decided I wanted to be a parront again and purchased a Rose Breasted Cockatoo (Sasha) from a local bird store. SKY; Terry when did you join BC? Terry; I joined BC a few months after I got Sasha on March 15, 2009 SKY; Can you tell us a little about how you are involved with birds? Do you volunteer somewhere, speak to people about birds etc? Terry; I am mostly owned by my FIDS but I will gladly talk about my experiences with anyone who is interested. It’s amazing how much you can learn from each parrot as each one is an individual just like human kids. I have given my name to a local rescue organization if they needed help but have never been called. My Co-worker had a house fire at the beginning of 2010 and we bird sat her Green Wing until her family could get their house cleaned up. She was very lucky girl because the fire started in the kitchen and her house was next to the kitchen. SKY; Please tell us about the birds in your flock? Are any rescues? Terry: Sasha, Rose Breasted Cockatoo, was purchased from a local bird store in 2009 and passed away from heavy metal poisoning (she ate a brass zipper) on September 27, 2010 Dory, Red-Front Macaw, rescue/rehome from co-worker whose husband could no longer tolerate her screaming (She doesn’t scream much anymore J ) Rudy, Rose Breasted Cockatoo, purchased from breeder Dixie, Goffins Cockatoo, rescue/rehome SKY; Thank you Terry & Cappy. Next week we will continue to talk about all the problems and concerns that came when Cappy joined the flock. with my heart filled with love, Sky 224183

Hi Zorro buddyICE FISHING TRIP Hello every birdie, this is Casey SKY's frother. On Thursday January 24th I will be hosting an ICE FISHING TRIP to Northern Ontario, home of the large Pike and Muskies among others. The Ice Huts are all set, heated, the fishing equipment is delivered and ready to go, so grab your warm winter coats and come have a blast as we try our luck at catching the BIG ONE!!!!!!

Hello Zorro~I hope your day was a good one. I haven't heard anything about Sunshine. I sure hope he made it home. At least in Florida he has a chance and maybe someone found him and kept him. I use to have a friend named Peep who was found in a bush on Easter in Florida. It turned out well for her so I have hopes for Sunshine. Is it snowy at your place? We don't have any snow but lots of fog and it's cold. It really looks creepy outside! I just hung out with mom today. We just finished up the dinner dishes and now I'm going to get the calendar done and go into the bedroom for a bedtime story! Mom got lots of picture books at the library for me and I love to sit on her knee and listen to the stories!! Enjoy the evening! Hugs and a vote ~ Sugar

It's Cocky!Well, here's how it goes: You invent a game, toy, food or anything you think will entertain me, and my human will send you a brief, funny story of how I reacted. If I like it, I'll try to get you some points, by me voting for you. Wanna join?

LIFE WITH BEN by Jessica Hagedorn is the story of the author as a young woman heading to college and all the stress and anxiety that brings. It wasn't the counseling or the meds that saved her though, it was Ben, a 'zon she met in a local pet store. Ben's original owner had died and Ben was in need of love as much as Jessica. This is the story of how they saved each other - don't you just love happy endings ?

Flyin' by to say hiFunny to meet another bird named Zorro. We have a Zorro. He is a blue parrotlet and lives in a cage with his bonded mate, Zelda. They don't have a page here though. Glad to meet you. Here's a vote for you.

Hi Zorro BuddyJanuary 16th Spotlight on Caring part 2 Hello all my BC friends! Sky here with the conclusion of my interview with Mr Kiddo and his wonderful Mom Pam. I must apologize that I failed to post Kiddo`s photo SKY: In what other ways are you involved in BC? KIDDO: My partner, RaneBeau, and I organize the monthly milonga, which is a virtual party which usually has a theme corresponding in some way with the month. For instance in October we had a cemetery tour to go with Halloween. In May we always have the Annual Milonga Derby to go along with the Kentucky Derby with the assistance of Chyna and her mom who are Derby afficianados. And we are always open to suggestions for a new theme or activities to go with a repeat theme. Don't be shy! We love it when other birdies get involved. That is what BC is all about. Community! SKY: Are you involved with any bird rescues, clubs etc outside of BC? PAM: I truly wish the answer to this one was yes. I have been looking for a bird club in my area for years. There just aren't any. In fact, we rarely have Bird Fairs or Shows either, and I am so envious when I hear about the great ones in other parts of the country. I do sign on to the Animal Rescue Site every day and click to contribute to them, and when there is a contest I vote for the Oasis Sanctuary in AZ. SKY: WHAT IS YOUR ONE THING you'd like to say about birds in general? PAM: Not all birds can be lucky enough to stumble in to a home where a bond like the one we have formed occurs. And although Dad is not bonded with Kiddo (Kiddo is jealous of him), he is understanding and never is mean to him (although he is not above a few terrible jokes about parrot stew). And I hope all new parrot people do what I did and research to learn the things they need to know. The first food I bought for Kiddo was seeds, and his first cage was a parakeet cage (which he destroyed in less than one week). I learned very quickly by asking questions at the pet store, reading books from the library and subscribing to Bird Talk, that there is always something new to learn about these fascinating creatures who have so much love and companionship to give us when we are smart enough to recognize it. SKY: Thank you Kiddo and Mom Pam for your insight into the BOTD/BOTM titles, and for sharing with us all for love for birds, and the wish that all owners would do their research BEFORE they buy the bird. I am looking for other birds, flocks or individuals who would like to share about their interest in birds, how they got their bird(s) and how they try to make this world a better for for all us feathered beings. Please contact asap so we can plan February's SPOTLIGHT'S on CARING. with my heart filled with love SKY 224183 Special Notes: Friday January 18th Sky and Baby`s Engagement Party-250113--6PM EST-Cocktails, 7Pm Buffet--lots of games, dancing and prizes to be won

Hello Zorro~I hope you are having a great day. Cold here and pretty quiet but I'm still having fun. I tried to pull the keys off the keyboard earlier, but that didn't work out for me. Mom is just too fast! I continued chewing up last year's desk calendar and now I'm grabbing some apple in my play cage. I saw the note about Sunshine and posted a note on the calendar page. Sunshine's mom must be so scared. At least it's warmer down there and she doesn't have to worry about snow. I see that Gizmo's mom mentioned petfinders. I wonder if she knows to look on craigslist. They have lost and found lists there. I guess I'll go over and suggest it. I sure hope Sunshine comes home. From the "how we met" section it looks like Sunshine has done this before! I'll be saying a special prayer! You know that is how I got my big macaw size play cage! A Senegal named Fred use to own it but he got out and flew off into the forest and was never seen again. I think about the little guy all the time. We have really cold weather, just like you do, and there isn't much chance of survival for bird who get out up here. I sure hope this story has a happy ending! Enjoy your day! Leaving a vote and a hug! With love ~ Sugar

Hi ZorroI am Sunshine's mommy and I just posted under Sunshines nicknames a plea for help to advertise Sunshine is MISSING and maybe you know how to help me with this at birdchannel. I tried to get into the forums but my brain isn't responding or I just cannot figure how to navigate this website. It don't let me do nothing I try. I try get in Forum. How I can chat or place a "missing bird" ad, something? I can barely figure how to do my home page. Maybe there are other bird members living near me in Sunrise, Florida that I can chat with but I cannot figure how to do anything in this website. I'm so stressed out, crying and upset with all the things I am trying to do to find Sunshine.post flyers outside, walking around all time, so many things going on in my mind. I am overwhelmed with everything. Zorro ask your mommy if she can assist me. She can write me personally at pattikakes10@yahoo.com. Please any help is dearly appreciated. Love, Patricia Gallandat

Hi ZorroHow do you know Sunshine is missing? There's nothing saying that on the page. We did stop, and make a suggestion, though. Don't forget about Guys night out on the castle page, Feb. 4th at 8PM. Hulk and I are co hosting it. Today we're having mimosas on the patio, then having omelets with jelly filling for the child in all of us, as well as toast with cinnamon. After breakfast, I think a return to the go cart track is in order. We haven't been there for a couple of weeks, and it is one of my favorite places in the castle. We can race all day long if you want! Hugs, King Gizmo

Oldie but goodie : THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL by Mark Bittner is about the bohemian author and the relationship he develops and nurtures with the wild parrots of his San Francisco neighborhood. He watches and learns of the parrots' different personalities and keeps a record, becoming a local celebrity until a documentary film maker shows up to tell his story and his life changes. See the DVD too !

ZorroWe glad your mommy is feeling lots better now so she can play with you. Awww that's cute you kissing your mom( Prince Charming) not to much going on here mom is very tired she said early to bed for her. We just wish she feel better soon. Vote 4 U. Hugzzzz LUCY

hey ZorroWow you give me HOPE Zorro. Mom is keeping log on my emails and when she walks around looking for me, I hear her saying "Sunshine come" "Come Sunshine" She tells me I have you and other birdie friends trying to give help through the channels. I remember those words cuz she likes me come to her cuz she likes rubbing my neck and of course I dig that cuz I get pickers in my feathers and she has just the right gentle touch to break them down and then I feel good. She gives me back massage and "wow" such good feelings. I know she is crying cuz she don't get to feel the peace & comfort when I am with her. She watches me sleep and when I wake she say how much peace I give her. Will I ever find her again? I hear her calling my name, whistling for me but I don't see her & I know she can't see me or I would come to her. Even Chamo (my camel)is calling my name because he sounds different than mommy voice. Oh Lord I need help so we can unite. I am afraid to be out here. I am doing my best to survive but I am keeping hope like mommy. Mommy's neighbors watch for me when they walking their dogs. The neighbor lady last saw me sitting on the big limb of the big tree in the front yard of end house 7 houses from where I live. It was this past Friday 11th. It was very early before daybreak. But no other news over weekend. Other neighbor is policeman and he was with mommy and he brought his 2 parrots Saturday afternoon to walk around with mommy calling and searching. Saturday evening he brought a police LED bright flashlight that shines thru the trees and we walked the entire golf course searching the trees but no sign. Mommy is speaking to all the people she sees and many people looking. Zorro I really need God's help to intervene to give me a safe path to my house. I feel lost and cannot find my way within reach so mommy can see me and reach for me. I am the one who is lost. Zorro maybe you can pray to the bird God and ask for direction for me. Thank you.

ZorroHow are you? Mom been sick so not to much going on here. Brothers and dad been taken care of us cause mom got the flu she had it going on 5 days now. She said as long as she does not eat or walk around to much she feels better . Now the weekend is almost over I'm stomping your vote off. Hugzzzzzzz LUCY

hooray my 1st new friendHey Zorro hello. Thanks for welcoming me to the flock. You know I have to say that me & my mommy are communicating by my chattering when she whistles and calls my name. I'm excited about mommy signing on to "bird channel" She is so worried about me because I flew out the house Jan 7th 2013 and she didn't even realize I was gone until she was going to put on her tennis shoes and run to the store for some fruit. I know she went quickly to get the mail but she forgot to tell me she would be right back. I flew out when the door opened and she didn't see me get out. Since she has been crying and I am trying to chatter with her from the outside but we can't find one another. She don't see me and I think I hear her whistling and calling my name but she can't find where I am because mommy has a difficult hearing disablement. I am lost myself and can't find home. Please try to send some signals through our bird channel. Have a bird seance to help us re-connect. I miss her and I know she misses me terribly. I hope we find one another sooner because this is not my life out here with all these strange birds. I love my mommy's cooking and her warm love. Please Zorro feel free to correspond with my mommy cuz she is so sad. thank you. Sunshine
